Well...that was pretty exciting.

I just popped popped outside with the 10x50 'nokkies' and had a quick squizz at the crescent moon...and there below it...about 5 degrees away to the east, is Venus. Bright and clear.

I've never actually seen venus during broad daylight, optically aided or not.

But it's easy to see at the moment given its proximity to the moon.

Haven't been able to pick up Jupiter yet, though.
